Rotunda are named in a Birmingham fashion after the band whose jazz funk music they play, Tower of Power, while Ska'd do a jazz twist on all that two-tone and earlier stuff that people like to jump up and down to.

Rondoni's poems were recited within a uniquely esthetic musical atmosphere created by the music of pianist Mel Morcone, blended with the voice of the sound recordist and singer Alicia Bassini who mixed Jazz and the Blues with the Funk music of Portugal.

The jazz funk music of the time included tunes by such artists as Herbie Hancock, Lonnie Liston Smith, George Benson, Azymuth, Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, Al Jarreau - plus soul from artists like Luther Vandross, Earth Wind and Fire and James Brown.

The concert is a tribute to the musician whose 40-year career of innovative songwriting and music writing left a strong impression, not only on many folk, jazz and blues musicians, but also on performers of reggae, trip-hop and funk music.
